Saifun Semiconductors Announces Reduction in NROM Activity by Qimonda AG
NETANYA, Israel -- October 13, 2006 -- Saifun Semiconductors Ltd. (NASDAQ: SFUN), a provider of intellectual property solutions for the non-volatile memory (NVM) market, announced today that Qimonda AG, a majority-owned subsidiary of Infineon Technologies AG, has informed Saifun of its decision to ramp down current NROM-related activity. Qimonda, which has been a significant customer of Saifun's IP and design services, will continue to license NROM technology on a limited basis, under an amended license agreement.
